Data Protection and Privacy
At The Sele School we take Data Protection and Privacy very seriously. In May 2018 the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) came into force in the UK; building on the Data Protection Act of 1998.
The GDPR require public authorities and businesses to identify the lawful basis for storing personal data, audit information we already hold and take a ‘data protection by design and default’ approach to personal data. As required by GDPR, we have a Data Protection Officer, Carolyn Messina (Governor), to oversee our approach to data management and protection.
To make it easier for parents, carers, students and other members of the school community to understand the approach that The Sele School takes to Data Protection, Privacy and GDPR, we have grouped all relevant policies and documents here for ease of access.
Please note that since 1 April 2022 all telephone calls to or from The Sele School are recorded for the purposes of staff training and quality control.

Online Safety
In order to comply with GDPR there are agreements that we have with parents, carers, students, staff and Governors, such as our Online Safety Agreement. The new regulations are clear that consent must be up-to-date and clearly recorded; lack of response cannot be interpreted as implied consent.
Consequently when consent forms are sent out, please ensure that you return these to us promptly.
